* - a different version is on The Swarm Vol. 1 

[Myalansky] 
This goes out to all my cats in the projects 
Just livin it, still livin it 
Thru the rough times and the bad times, 
the crimes, where was heaven 
Must be somewhere here, though, for real 
I never seen the place 
Maybe some place you got when you die 

An ordinary cat from outer projects, since I was younger though 
Mom raised her children, pops dipped a long time ago 
In my mind I see flashbacks, I had no fancy clothes 
Skinny, ugly, knotty head nigga crying with a snotty nose 
Even though my father neglect, he pay the child support 
Hadn't seen him all these years, I hug his ass in court 
Always saying I'm comin to get you and I be waitin too 
Holiday and birthday presents was never comin through 
Remember at the age 13 I started smokin weed 
Hanging out with cats that was older, start to run the street 
Dropped out of high school selling drugs, impressin chicks 
Spent most my cheddar on gear, my man was buyin whips 
New York, Jamaican, Miami niggaz, flooded Virginia quick 
Cause signin work only if buying, prices was high as shit 
Remember when I first got hit, I seen the iron spit 
50 cash bent in one corner bleeding where pellet hit 
My man Shawn, he held on strong 
Slug burn through his lower back side, crack his spine exit his arm 
Lost him twice on the hospital table and when he died I cried my eyes out 
I couldn't take it (damn damn), but the same things continued to happen 
Niggaz got bust, I'm a kid with a grown man's mind turning corrupt 
Playing innocent in front of my elders 
I was running with them cats that be robbing too, I couldn't tell 'em 
If my name was up in any type trouble, my moms would tell me 
Just like you brothers into some shit go get a job or something 
Just a little bum on the street, not working hard for nothing 
Scratch I made when I was pumpin, I'm here to offer somethin 
Making sure the crib stay tight, for real I wasn't no dummy 
Tell me where you getting this money, I wash a cop be lying 
Saying anything 'sides drugs selling, my sister seen me on the block 
Transact' with fiends, be saying I'ma tell it 
Growing up was hell no doubt, I wonder where was heaven 

(women singing in the background) 

Shit, it's like yesterday, you know? 
It all comes back though, but still 
But still livin on the block, but still fucked up 
You know? Crime affiliated, Crime Syndicate 
Whatever you wanna call it 
You know what I'm sayin? Affiliated with the bad shit 
All the time just cuz I'm a victim of the projects 

Now I'm a grown man, still It's like life dealt me the wrong hand 
Cat's that was my man be frontin' or either found dead 
Sound said incarcerated just turned a new Dad 
Remembering them long ten months from slingin crack bags 
Mom put me out with the quickness, carry your black ass 
I'm still coming back to the crib, oh so you back? yeah 
Ma' I just came to holler to see how you doing 
Nothing's changed after all these years 
Still hustle for some gear, smoke weed, still drink beers 
I tell you from my heart, yo, 'times I'm like yeah 

(women start singing again) 

I wonder if heaven was a place in this planet 
You'd find me right there. 

Where was heaven.
